Nice work thunder. I'm still kinda confused about supporting the input shaft tho....

Thanks, Confused how? - How to do it or why and where?

Like, what do I use as a coller, where does it go on the input, and do I just weld it to my mounting plate?

You won't need a big collar going all the way down on the shaft, what you need is a support base for the input shaft to NOT move, read break. When you slam the clutch.

The only thick plate on my build will be this plate, so minimum a 1/4" thick plate, drill holes, mount - DONE!

I will also use some 90 degree angle iron or similar to go up to the remaining top mount holes, this way its clamped in place.

Like Reddz also said, its the cases that breaks cause of bad mounting and support.

Wouldn't that wear out or make a bad screeching noise because its not a bearing?

No, no its not the input shaft itself, its the outside part of the input shaft and like i suggested to fill it with some silicone or PUR after you mount it, for flex.

Ohhhhhh!! I get it now. The case itself I see. Duh.....

Yes, cause most just drill a like 2 inch hole there, and let it hang loose.

No it's normal, 6" front and 8" rear. you probaly never seen em without rubber on, not that visible when the tires are on.   

So much for a simple build lol

What Much? Explain...   

And what ya guys think about these proportions? this is mocked up at about 42" and 36" wide




The white paper is about the same lenght as the V-Twin,

This is simple for thunder's standards..... Looks.... small lol. if i remember right my mini will be like 2 1/2 feet tall ish

To me, it look wide. if that's what you want, thats alright. remember the "mini" theme, you start playing with dimentions and stuff then its not so mini. Thats why im running a slightly longer wheelbase and about the same width, maybe a little wider, and 4.10" wide tires

Yeah but I also have to keep in mind the JD design and theme. Since im using the Square rear fender, that needs some lenght.

what fender/ hood will you use?

Gosh, not gonna be easy afterall....

Im using that surfaced rusted wheel horse hood, shortened, and no fenders. my tractor probally didnt come with any stock, and i have no fenders anyways, and i like the open wheel look.

I agree, did you start to cut your hood yet. I ordered me some JD 110 round fenders too, but they will look stupid on a 16" Tire.

You're going for a Mini hot rod look then kinda?

I'm trying to keep the dimensions stock looking, and the same style seat it would have on it. Obviously tires/hood and drivetrain will be different.

lol stock with a wheelhose hood, but yeah i know what you mean. Mine will house a pan seat.

Sucks to wait for parts....

428/#40 chain will generally work on #41 sprockets. What was the fitment issue? Was there interference somewhere, or just sloppy? Of course, you don't want slop in there, I was just wondering if it was hitting somewhere.

Yea it didn't go around the sprocket. Also the 428H is wider, so I guess it would have hit the case wall.

i thought this was supposed to be simple?
